new Greek court decision on blogs




By Nikolaos VOLANIS - Date : 2010-09-19 - Country : GRECE - Subject : Litigations - IP Field : Information Technology


Decision 25552/2010 of the Thessaloniki Court of First Instance re-examines the issue of whether the legislation regulating the press (Law 1178/1981 which imposes strict liability for the owner of the medium) should be applied by analogy when considering defamatory comments posted on a blog.
